December Auction

BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing

A couple of days ago our class had an auction. We had fun bidding against each other. People were saying numbers back and forth and it got exciting and funny. There were so many things to choose from like bouncy balls, pencils, hi-lighters, snowmen, and iron on stickers. At the end things started to slow down and people were learning how to be smart bidders. We are hoping to do this again.

Our Auction

On December 19th 2008 we had an auction. It was really fun! Instead of money we used clear green bingo chips we earned by having good behavior, bringing our homework back to school, and doing good deeds. Each chip was worth a dollar. Some people did not have as many chips as other people because they got a prize with their chips already. Mr. Nardelli was our auctioneer. We had a lot of fun!!! By Tasneem
PS. Olivia won the bid.

Four Winds -Weathering & Erosion



In Four Winds we learned about weathering and erosion. It was fun .We did some experiments with rocks. In one of the experiments we stuck a rock in a cup of water to see if it would float. The other experiment was finding the rock that was magnetized. At first we couldn’t find it but at the end we did find it and that’s what we did at Four Winds. By Spencer

Four Winds- Rocks and Minerals


At Four Winds we learned that rocks are made differently. We did some tests that showed rocks can be magnetic and some are not. We put vinegar on some rocks to see if it fuzzed up. We shook rocks in a jar of water to show how rocks break down when they hit each other. It was a fun time and we learned lots of things about rocks.

Encyclopedia Brown



Joe’s mother came in and read us a story out of the book Encyclopedia Brown Series. We read the story "The Case of Sir Biscuit-Shooter". It was about Uncle Barney and people thinking that he went into Princess Marta’s trailer. At the end of the story Uncle Barney was innocent and they found out that it was a person named Kitty. Kitty went into Princess Marta’s trailer. That was the mystery story that we read! Thanks Alice for reading the story to us. By: Olivia Letourneau
